Superintendent Riibe provided information regarding the
State Report Card which will be available to the public this Wednesday,
December 16.
The intent of the report card is to rank each
attendance center in the state of Iowa from Exception, High-Performing,
Commendable, Acceptable, Needs Improvement, and Priority. He noted that the Report Card does not differentiate those schools with a higher percentage of free/reduced population students which he feels is unfair and does not show the entire picture. He commended our staff and administrators for all they do for our students every day.
